Mama Gets High lyrics
Mama gets high when a good man in the morning
Gives her tea and feeds her milk and apple pie
Mama don t cry when a main man is gone and
Has left her with that sweet ol bye and bye

Mama couldn t pay the rent
The price of booze s no cheaper
Lonely nights are often spent
In billiard halls and bar-room brawls

Mama gets by but her men find her saying
You re good but you ain t like you used to be
Mama don t cry when it s dues that she s paying
It s him she s waiting by that door to see

Turn your light down low, woman

Mama, mama, ooh
Mama, mama, mama

Mama still remembers his eyes
Like a road map of New York City
She always had forgiven his lies
She loved that man and then he ran

I tell you mama gets high when a good man in the morning
Gives her tea and feeds her milk and apple pie
Mama don t cry when a main man is gone and
Has left her with that sweet ol bye and bye

Hi mama, I think I d better say just one more time

Bayou-by
Bayou-by
Bayou-by
Oh bye bye
